Ensete ventricosum, definately. Other ensete species are more expensive and difficult to obtain, so this would certainly have been advertised. I know I have heard of "the fantastic snow banana" to the point of tearing out my hair.

Might want to give it some more light/ lower temps if you can, that plant is seriously stretched! When you plant it out all skinny and thin, it seems to normalize in appearance quite fast, but the leaves all burn off.
